I considered changing the thread title, but I suppose it continues to be appropriate.
3 months have passed, so bottle shock should no longer be a worry. Now just the fact it is horrible and it is more valuable as a keepsake will keep the bottle unopened.
I emailed the professor to ask if she had gotten word from other students who tried their bottles, but she had not heard from any other students. She isn't planning to open her's either.
Interestingly, because I was thinking about this, I went and looked at the bottle and remembered that since our bottles were donated, we didn't get dark green glass. Instead our bottles are the light green. So I held it up to the light and I could see the wine is still ruby/red. I can watch for when it finally turns brown.
